Bottle at Bodega de la Ardosa, Madrid
bottled 11.02.13, bb 11.06.13, 3 months old

Blond color, quite clean, with low carbonation, and small head. Nice aroma of citrusy hops, tangerines, a bit penetrating; ends with old hay, biscuity malt, farm smell, nice. Lean body, some nice malt flavor, toffee, and good bitterness level; there are some pleasant hop qualities, but probably was not stored too well.
Very pleasant overall.

Bottled. Orange colour with a white head with nice lacing and an average lasting. Aroma is strong hoppy, fruity, orange and citrus. Flavor has a decent bitterness with a good duration, grassy and citrus hops, but also resins are present. The final is strong bittery with a good astringency and duration on the palate.

Bottle from Cork & Cork. Hazy golden body with tiny flecks beneath an off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grass, lime and pale malt. Flavour of white bread, orange and lemon. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A smooth, cask-like beer.

Bottle shared with Countbeer at minitasting. Slightly unclear orange color, small to medium sized a bit creamy white head. Smell malts, hops, grassy, grapefruit. Lovely aroma! Taste malts, lightly fruity, hops, bitter and grapefruit bitter. I do miss some hoppy fruitiness though. Medium body and carbonation.

Bottle at home, from the brewery, 01/03/13. Label states 5.2%, bottled on 11/02/13. Hazed orange amber with a thin white head that clears to edge hugging bubbles and leaves a thin film. Nose is hops, bitter orange, pale malt, citrus, touch of pine, touch of plastic/chemicals. Taste comprises orange pith, hops, mineral tones, pine, grapefruit, light sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hop bitterness in a dry finish. Not Kernels best offering but drinkable stuff none the less.

Bottle @ BrewDog Edinburgh 190113
Light orange, fairly hazy (did but a bit too much yeast in), rather flat, no head
Aroma of soft tropical fruits, soft pale malts
Taste as aroma, nice bitter zesty hops, touch of bitter tangerine
Palate - Thinnish body, quite oily, bitter palate. Finish - over bitter probably due to the yeast, but does seem over bitter anyway
Overall - This isn’t one of their best beers

On tap at Beer Temple. Clear deep golden colour, white head. Aroma of dung, weed, sharp citrus, just full-on hops. Flavour is sharp citrus, lemon, grapefruit, passion fruit, flowers, rather bitter citrus finish ending in a nice floral note with a little pine. Light-bodied.

330ml bottle

Bottled on 03.10.2012 - Pours clear orange with a small bubbly head. Aroma of fresh grassy hop pallets, biscuity malts and caramel. Taste is hoppy with notes of fresh grass, biscuit, pine and hints of fruits. Finish is dry, biscuity and grassy with some bitter notes. Okay, quite generic but well executed single hop pale ale.

33 cl bottle (5,2%) @ lusikka, bottled 03.10.2012, BBE 03.02.2013
Aroma has gooseberry bush and some biscuits. Flavour is a bit harsh with gooseberry bush, some grapefruit and hints of biscuits. Slightly watery palate. Your typical Pale Ale. Good.
